From a distance, Fred Eversley’s lenses and mirrored forms look like planets floating in space, their highly polished reflective surfaces reflecting and refracting the world, and our place within it. Fred Eversley: Reflecting Back (the World) expands on the groundbreaking 1976 exhibition of his work at OCMA (then known as the Newport Harbor Art Museum). This was a pivotal period for Eversley—he hit his stride with his primary mode of working at the same time the Light and Space movement gained momentum in Southern California.
